In this episode, we break down the Middle East ceasefire as Iran rejects the US blockade and prepares for potential strikes. Are the Gulf States about to dump the petrodollar? We also examine the geopolitical shift in Europe following Viktor Orban's defeat, the coming European energy tsunami, and the hidden realities of the Russia-Ukraine war, where drones are now responsible for over 90% of casualties.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro & The "Bogus" Middle East Ceasefire05:07 - Is the US Preparing to Strike Iran?09:15 - Why Iran Refused to Negotiate11:29 - Strait of Hormuz Blockade & Petrodollar at Risk20:43 - Has the Israel Lobby Captured Trump's Administration?25:17 - Viktor Orban’s Defeat & The Future of European Politics34:11 - The Coming European Energy Tsunami43:08 - Media Bias & The Hidden Realities of Ukraine58:39 - How Drones Changed the Russia-Ukraine War Forever1:04:10 - Russia’s Warning to NATO Over Drone Attacks1:10:04 - Can We Avoid a Global War?Go Deeper:Substack: https://conversationsamongtheruins.substack.com/Support the Conversation:Join as a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW9CSfmP6gEjqtOdGTD_JKw/joinBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/amongtheruinsListen & Watch:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3DJ12khDdM6t7o9AaktLu8?si=bd495e12062546fbTopic Videos & Shorts YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AmongtheRuins-Clips
